Help me stop breaking stuff.

Here's the situation. I finished my HCI install about a month or so ago. Since then, it seems like a series of nonstop issues and gremlins. First, I broke a bolt while putting the timing cover back on. Then I had a short. Then I blew out my balancer. Then I had an oil leak.

I got all that stuff cleared. Turns out the oil leak was a massive crack in the timing cover where the outer ring of the balancer impacted. Anyway, I am wondering if there are other things that I should have upgraded when I did the HCI build up. All of my significant mods are in the sig. But I was wondering if I am missing anything else that could really help avoid problems. Like an upgraded radiator, or aluminum driveshaft, etc. I know I need to get a computer/chip/tune of some kind.

I'm not looking to spend cash just to spend it. I have sure done enough spending over the last couple of months!! But if there is something that would make a significant difference, I would definitely consider.

Any suggestions?

How did you fix the bent valves? And how did you know they were bent?

BTW, when I ordered the heads, I talked with tech at Summit, Trick Flow and Anderson Ford. And I am sure I asked about the springs at both Trick Flow and AFM (can't remember if I asked Summit - same thing as TFS anyway). But anyway, both of them said I was OK.

In any case, I'm gonna be real careful with the rev's here on out. My 4.10's rev way too fast now. (I may back the gears off a bit eventually)
